Monday musings.....

Welcome to Monday musings......each Monday ( I hope) I'll post different things.....just notes, tips or interesting things I found on the web.

First, I'll explain the button to the right.....I've joined this bloghop. I'll make a quilted self-portrait and on my appointed day, folks will hop on over here to see it. So, I'll be hijacking the blog during those days as I have to post about the other days as well, I think. Don't quite have the details on all that yet.

Other stuff.....lets see. I bound a quilt yesterday using the machine binding tutorial found here on Cluck, Cluck, Sew....it is awesome!!!! I may never hand-sew a binding to the quilt back again.....especially for a little kid or baby quilt. Here are a couple of pix...

This is from the back...


And this is from the front....


Her pictures are so much better- check out the link. It was truly very easy.

Ladies - this Thursday, I'd like to host....


bee......no it won't bee this corny every week.....

I'll leave you with this from Pinterest


If you are off for MLK day, enjoy the day and if you aren't, enjoy it anyway......peace.
